The last time I came to the northern foot wilderness, the weeds on the wasteland were still very lush, but this time, the tips of the grass have turned yellow.Wei Xi was also pleasantly surprised to find that there was a crooked neck tree with a few fruits hanging on it.The fruit was already yellow, and it looked like it should be delicious, Wei Yun jumped on the tree to pick the fruit, and hesitated but didn't let Wei Xi eat it."
Store it in ice first, and let Jiuzhang see if it's poisonous when you go back."
Wei Xi: "Okay. ”This time, Wei Xi's plan was to go to the equally inaccessible barren forest behind the northern foothills to explore the deepest distance they could currently penetrate.In addition, she wants to try to build a road from Shangjing City to the northern foot of the wilderness, so that it is convenient to transport things into it later.At noon, the team stopped at the edge of the northern foothills.If you want to go further, it will not fall within the scope of Wei Xi's title deed.However, in front of this barren forest, there is a northern foot barren land firmly blocked, and there is no owner."
Eat lunch first, and then go in after lunch."
Wei Xi gave an order, everyone dismounted, and began to boil water and cook in an orderly manner.When they had eaten and drunk enough, and rested for a while, ten men were left to look after the horses and the supplies on the wagons, and the rest were to go into the wilderness.It was at this time that Wei Yun stopped in front of Wei Xi."
I'll go, Xixi stays."
Wei Yun's expression became rare and serious, "The terrain in the barren forest is unknown, and the trees are dense, it is too dangerous compared to the wilderness, Xi Xi stayed." ”"Sister, I don't run around, I don't eat indiscriminately, I promise to follow you closely."
Wei Xi assured Sanlian, "Also, I have to go in." ”Seeing Wei Xi's resolute expression, Wei Yun moved his lips and didn't speak, but pulled Wei Xi away from the team, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Xixi, my sister has never asked you what you are going to do when you buy this northern foothill wilderness where no one wants and no one lives, because I know that you have your own plans in your heart, but it doesn't mean that I will let you be in a little danger." ”Wei Xihui shook Wei Yun's hand, "Sister, I always knew what I was going to do. ”Wei Yun: "From the moment she met Wei Xi's eyes, she knew that this time was the same as every time before, and she couldn't persuade people."
Keep your promises in mind."
Trees that have grown freely for an unknown number of years cover the sky and the sun above everyone's heads, and the thick dead leaves can sink into the thighs as soon as you step on them.It coincides with autumn, when the mountain breeze blows, countless fallen leaves fall down, and from time to time dry branches fall down and fall on the soft ground.The biggest difference between this place and the Northern Foothills that has been left behind is that after going deeper, the shadows of small animals begin to appear.Gray hares, feathered pheasants, and chubby ball of yarn.Because no one is willing to fight through the entire northern foothills, the small animals here are not afraid of the living, and some of them accidentally bumped into Wei Xi's and them, and dared to sneak to everyone's feet and jump around twice.Wei Xi looked thoughtfully at the rabbit squatting at her feet for a while, and stopped, "Go back." ”The living environment in the barren forest is progressive, and the animals have their own territory, which is determined by the food chain in the jungle.Today they encountered these harmless critters, and tomorrow they might be even larger.Wei Xi gave an order, and all the staff returned.Before it got dark, I went back to the place where I had left people behind.After walking all afternoon, Wei Xi almost sat on the small stool that Xiao Qi brought for her and didn't move.Xiaoba helped her massage her legs, and she began to sort out her map and ecological distribution map with the last bit of light.Happily, on their way back, they stumbled upon a small stream the width of an adult man's calf, presumably one of the tributaries of the stream that flowed down the mountain.That way, they don't have to worry about using water.As soon as Wei Xi marked the location of the stream, she heard Wei Yun calling out to her not far away, "Xi Xi, it's time to eat." ”There are not many meals that can be cooked in the wild, stir-fry is impossible, a bowl of mutton stewed radish, a bowl of hot and sour noodle soup.During the day, the physical exertion was not small, and Wei Xi was stunned to eat the two not small bowls.Wei Yun even went back to serve a bowl after eating.After eating and drinking, those who wanted to rest went to rest in the tent, and those who were not sleepy for the time being got together in twos and threes and chatted.Wei Xi took the booklet in her hand, asked Xiao Qi to hang a glass lamp next to her, wrapped in a blanket and looked up at the stars on the edge of the tent.After a while, Wei Yun also came over, and when she saw Wei Xi looking up at the stars with a fascinated face, she also looked up.After a moment, he exclaimed, "This night sky is so beautiful. ”Wei Xi snorted, "The stars in the wilderness have always been the brightest. ”There was silence between the two for a while, Wei Yun felt that he was about to fall asleep, and when he heard his own voice ask, "Xixi, what do you want to do?"
”When Wei Xi organized the language and wanted to speak, his shoulders sank.When she turned her head, she saw that her sister was already asleep.A good night's sleep.The next morning, after dinner, we continued into the forest.This time, lunch was also paused to eat during the journey.When he went deeper, Wei Xi was not surprised to see larger animals, some of which were carnivorous, but they were full of intimidation, and often ran away before they could meet each other.It wasn't until the third day that Wei Xi decisively retreated with everyone after seeing the traces of some large animals.At this point, Wei Xi harvested a thick stack of ecological terrain distribution maps that she hastily drew and still needed to be sorted out, and began to take everyone back.Wei Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.But this tone, she seemed to be a little relieved a little early.From Shangjing City to the northern foot of the wilderness, if there is a big road along the way, there is no big road and then take a small road, it will take a day and a night to speed up the whip.But if you follow a path that is not easy to walk but is closer, it only takes a day's time.And what Wei Xi wants to build is a road that is closer.Then try to be as straight as possible, preferably without detours.After a lot of rushing, the results are finally out.Two bridges need to be built, and a small village will be passed along the way.This is already the most satisfactory plan that Wei Xi came up with in combination with their return to the northern foothills of the Desert Monk Capital.When Wei Xi showed the plan to Wei Yun and explained what he was going to do, Wei Yun was directly confused.She directly touched her little sister's forehead, "Just for the convenience of going back and forth between the northern foot of the desert monk capital, you have to build such a road of hundreds of miles, and you have to build a bridge, Xixi, you don't have a fever, right?"
”"I'm very sober," Wei Xi took Wei Yun's hand away, "I'm just a little hesitant, how to tell my father." ”The construction of roads and bridges is under the control of the Ministry of Engineering, but she built the road in her own name, and Wei Xi hopes to obtain official approval within the scope of her father's authority.Wei Yun also knew that Wei Xi was really here, so he was silent, "Let's ask my father first." ”The food that happened to be brought out was almost eaten, and I returned to Beijing.When Wei Yan returned home, he saw his little daughter who he hadn't seen for several days.Along with a drawing that is extraordinarily detailed.So detailed that he didn't need to ask his daughter this time, he knew what was drawn on the drawing and what he wanted to express.But the old father still wanted to confirm again, "Build roads?
”Wei Xi nodded and gave him an affirmative answer.After a moment of silence in the study, Wei Yan pondered for a long time and didn't ask Wei Xi why he wanted to build such a road.Because from this drawing alone, he can guess how much energy his little daughter has spent.He asked the most realistic and ordinary question, "Building roads and bridges is not a day's work, hundreds of miles of road, Xi'er has ever thought about how many craftsmen need to be hired?"
How is the food and water for these people to eat?
How can you ensure that they are doing their best?
”Wei Xi said: "This road will pass through a village, there are about more than 100 young adults in the village, and now it is a farming slack, there is an opportunity to earn money, I think they should not refuse, and they can also hire the women in the village to eat and drink."
As for how to ensure that they do their best work, I will divide them into groups of six, choose one of them as the superintendent, and give him a piece of silver, in addition to ensuring normal work, he is also responsible for supervising whether the people in his group are passive and slacking off, if this group overcompletes the task that day, everyone will be rewarded, if they can't complete it, they will deduct 30% of the day's wages, and the superintendent will deduct half. ”It was almost enough to hire more than a hundred people in a hundred miles, but what made Wei Yan couldn't help but smile was the supervision and reward method that Wei Xi came up with."
The rewards and punishments are clear, this method is good."
Wei Xi's eyes lit up, "Daddy agreed." ”Wei Yan bowed slightly, "Agreed." ”Wei Xi thought for a while, "If my daughter does this, will it affect my father?"
”Wei Yan smiled, "Daddy still has this bit of power." ”He's not talking big.Yaoguo Mansion chose the Nine Emperor Princes, although His Majesty accepted the authority of His Royal Highness King Yue in the Ministry of Industry, but after so many years of operation, the Ministry of Industry was almost in the hands of His Royal Highness King Yue.A road that is no more than a hundred miles, if he can't be the master, this Ministry of Industry Shangshu should not be the master.However, for the sake of prudence, he still had to find an opportunity to report to His Royal Highness King Yue.With her father's permission, Wei Xi didn't plan to waste time, and started to act directly.She is not going to use cement to build roads, although there is no shortage of them, but the cement roads are too eye-catching.Just when Wei Xi instructed Wei San to look for a team of craftsmen with experience in road construction and bridge building in Shangjing City, Wei Yun took the few yellow fruits picked from the crooked neck tree at the northern foot and went to the hospital to find Wen Jiuzhang.Since the two were engaged, Wei Yun felt that it was obviously inappropriate to call Dr.
Wen again, so he simply called Wen Jiuzhang's name directly.And Wen Jiuzhang no longer called Miss Wei Er, and called Yun'er with everyone in Yaoguo Mansion."
Jiuzhang, can you help me see what kind of fruit this is, and whether it is poisonous or not?"
Wen Jiuzhang just took a good look at a patient, washed his hands and was about to pour a cup of tea for Wei Yun himself, when he heard this, his eyes turned off and fell into the box that Wei Yun had just opened in his hand.The box is not small, there are a lot of crushed ice in it, and in the center of the crushed ice, there are several yellow and clear fruits, all the size of a child's fist.At this moment, the box is bubbling with cold air, but you can still faintly see a very fine and dense pale yellow line on the skin of the fruit, and it penetrates deep into the flesh."
Stop, stop, the tea is overflowing, and a few fruits can still be fascinated!"
Wen Jiuzhang woke up in shock, put down the teapot and hurriedly reached out to remove the broken ice, carefully took out a fruit from it, and after carefully confirming it, joy suddenly covered his whole face, and when he saw Wei Yun coming over, he hurriedly explained: "I only saw this fruit in a medical book of the master, I thought it was extinct, but I didn't expect to see it today." ”Wei Yun looked left and right at the fruit, "So, this is a medicinal herb?"
”Wen Jiuzhang nodded, carefully put the fruit back into the box, and said, "This thing is called Longyan Fruit, and it has a miraculous effect on dampness and cold entering the body.What's more, where there is dragon flame fruit, there must be agave grass.Yun'er, where did you find this fruit?
”"In a wasteland."
Wei Yun said while thinking about whether he had noticed the grass around him when he was picking the fruit, and finally shook his head in his heart, "That agave is also a medicinal herb?"
”"Well, agave is a good medicine for blindly repairing muscles and veins, but this herb is very domineering.If it grows, it will rob everyone else around it of life, even small bugs.Over time, the grass was almost extinct.Yun'er, where did you find the Dragon Flame Fruit in the wasteland, I'm going to take a look. ”For a doctor, being able to find a good medicine is no less than a shocking event."
I'll take you with me another day, but not now."
Wei Yun closed the box as he spoke, and pushed it in front of Wen Jiuzhang, "Since this is a medicinal herb, let's give it to you." ”Hey, I have to buy an eight-treasure duck to comfort Xixi when I go back, after all, this fruit is completely gone!
